CHILDREN /HIGHER DUTY OF CARE

Guardian/parents applying for participants whose age is below 18 years on race day or at the time of application (Higher Duty of Care) must be aware of the following:

For junior participants whose age is below 18 years on race day or at the time of application, a higher duty of care exists and is maintained for the participant as the responsibility at that time of the person performing the transaction to complete the entry process. By definition, the card holder is 18 years or older and assumes the principle guardianship responsibility of consent and evaluation of suitability for participation from their knowledge of the individual. This will include an understanding and implications of the health and endurance requirements to participate in the event(s) in question, and an appreciation of an event’s race practices and course. It is expected that for these situations, the card holder adds their detail prior to submitting the completed web application form. This does not infer that the duty of care remains wholly with the person conducting the transaction, but rather in their compelling judgment and responsibility in this issue. Nonetheless, the event itself is run under the governing body's sanction (BTF) whose certificate is only issued once the whole event has received a detailed risk assessment and scrutiny. In this way, the duty of care by way of the event organiser and officials is persisted through these measures.

Information submitted through this web page or by using a paper/manual entry method is kept securely on computer and used only for the administration of your entry and participation in this event. These details will not be shared with any other or third party except under the following situations:

· registering day licence membership details with the BTF as required for DAY MEMBERSHIP. Such detail is specified by the following statement: 'As a condition of your day licence membership, you agree to the details of your name, address, telephone number and date of birth being forwarded to the BTF for the purpose of registering your day licence membership'. For further information, please see the section headed 'BTF and DAY MEMBERSHIP'.· In administering your entry and based on the information you supply, your name, team/club detail along with an estimated start time will be published for each event entered in the web 'entries so far' page. This page is freely accessible from the organiser's home page.· where the '(tick) I do not want to receive news/info about other events and activities from Southern Multisports or permit my details being passed to the event sponsor' tick box has NOT been clicked, then it is assumed that you agree for your details to be passed to the event organiser for the purpose of generating 'information emails' or 'mail drops' for other events organised by Sothern Multisports. Additionally, the event sponsor may request address/email details to advertise their products or services upon which such sponsorship depends. Under no circumstances would your DOB or telephone contact detail be released for any reason.

Credit/Debit card details entered are handled independently by NoChex using 128 bit encryption technology over a secure connection (https) consistent with online transaction software. The Southern Multisports web pages and on-line entry pages do not record or handle any credit/debit card detail. All credit/debit card detail is input directly to web pages operated by NoChex who are compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requirements

Additional anti-fraud checks are made during the credit card handling stage using 3D Secure. 3D Secure can be thought of as an online version of 'Chip and Pin' technology, whereby the cardholder has a personalised password registered against their credit/debit card that is entered during the checkout process
